    Interlude 1
    four 



    Verse 2
    You 
    and 
    I 
    both 
    know 

    There 
    is 
    nothing 
    more 
    to 
    say 

    Chance 
    has 
    shut 
    her 
    shin
    ing 
    eyes 

    And 
    turned 
    her 
    face 
    away 

    Verse 3
    Leaning 
    on 
    the windowsill 

    You 
    could 
    write 
    me someday, 

    and 
    I think 
    you 
    will 

    We 
    could see 
    the sadness 

    as 
    a 
    gift 
    and 
    still 

    Feel 
    too 
    heavy 
    to 
    hold 

    Verse 4
    Snow 
    fallin' 

    I try 
    to 
    keep 
    from 
    callin' 

    Watch 
    the 
    spring 
    turn 
    to 
    winter 

    Fireflies 
    all 
    frozen 

    The seasons 
    Verse 5
    go 
    so 
    fast 

    Thinking 
    that 
    this 
    one 
    was 
    gonna 
    last 

    Maybe 
    the ques
    tion 
    was 
    too 

    much 
    to 
    ask 

    Verse 6

    Been 
    searching 
    for 
    your 
    eye
    s 

    All 
    I 
    see 
    is 
    blue 
    skies 

    And 
    that 
    old 
    man 
    beats 
    his 
    crooked 
    cane 

    It's 
    time 
    to 
    let 
    go 

    Verse 7
    Leaning 
    on 
    the 
    windowsill 

    You 
    could 
    write 
    me someday, 

    and 
    I 
    bet 
    you 
    will 

    We 
    could see 
    the sad
    ness 

    as 
    a 
    gift 
    an
    d still 

    The sea
    sons 
    go 
    so 
    fast 

    Thinking 
    that 
    this 
    one 
    was 
    gonna 
    last 

    Maybe

    Interlude 2



    Verse 8
    You 
    and 
    I 
    could 
    see 
    into 

    the same 
    etern
    ity 

    Every 
    second 
    brim
    ming 

    with 
    a 
    majesty 

    Verse 9

    Oh, 
    kiss 
    so 
    sweet, 
    so 
    fine 

    You 
    could 
    hear 
    the 
    music 
    inside 
    my 
    mind 

    And 
    you 
    showed 
    me 
    a 
    place 

    I'll 
    find 
    even 
    when 
    I'm old 

    Verse 10
    Just 
    leaning 
    on 
    the windowsill 

    You 
    could 
    write 
    me someday, 

    and 
    I 
    hope 
    you 
    will 

    We

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
